Product Description
Nancy Braithwaite has been a champion of my music since 1996 when I wrote a solo clarinet piece (Trinca de Chôros) for her to play at her sister Ann's wedding that year in Vermont. After the wedding Nancy asked me if I would write a new piece for her group the Arto Ensemble. I said yes, and I gave them "Yo Picasso" (1997) for clarinet, viola, cello and piano. Subsequently Nancy asked for more works from me over the years.
Octet in D (2012)
Clarinet Quintet (2013)
La Serenissima (2013)
Alice (2015)
B.A.C.H. (2018)
This year she asked me to write a Nonet so that she could feature it with her group the Rietveld Ensemble in a program with nonets by Bohuslav Martinu and Louis Farrenc. I said yes.
This work is scored for flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, violin, viola, cello and double bass. It is in five movements.
1. Introduction, Moderato
2. Largo, Vivace, TRIO
3. Prestissimo
4. Largo, Adagio
5. Vivace, TRIO
Enjoy!!!
